1
Prepare the Fire Roasted Salsa
Preheat the grill or broiler. Place tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and garlic on the grill. Roast until charred and softened, about 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool, then chop finely and combine with cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
2
Prepare the Calamari
In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Dip the calamari rings into buttermilk, then dredge in the flour mixture. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the calamari in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
3
Serve
Serve the crispy calamari hot with the fire roasted salsa on the side for dipping.
